Tender pieces of chicken marinated with lemon and oregano and served with fresh tomatoes, onions, tzatziki and pita bread! Assemble all the components on a platter, and let your guests build their own plates! We love to load up all the components on pitas and make our own chicken souvlaki pita wraps!
